In this document here there are some recipes. My humble opinion is that this material is ~ the marketing manifestation of the will to sell the worst possible concrete (preferably with as much air instead of concrete as possible) you are able to mix up.
But maybe you would get more useful responses if you ask for a solution of a well described problem instead of a recipe from the cookbook
